LOL Oh the magic of Bubble tea
[QUOTE=tiggerlee;1974151]Wikipedia-
Bubble tea is a tea beverage that originated in Taiwan[1] in the 1980s. The term "bubble" refers to the tapioca ***** in the drink. These chewy tapioca *****, or "pearls," are consumed along with the beverage through a wide straw. Bubble tea is extremely popular in Asia, California, and Canada. Bubble tea is especially popular in many East Asian regions such as Taiwan, Brunei, China (including Hong Kong and Macau), Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. [QUOTE]
I can't speak from experience because I refused to try it, but that stuff just looked repugnant. The idea of a bunch of teens hopped up on bubble tea taking it to the streets to settle their differences just made me laugh water through my nose. What a great plot for a bad movie
Fast and the Furious 7 Skirting the Bubble! or Bubble Tea Beat Down Bonanza!
~Edit~ Oh yeah, and seriously, dude, who gives a flying pile if some doofus at school says his car is faster, maybe it is, maybe his daddy bought a rocket and mounted it on the trunk, who gives a damn, there is always a faster car. Unless your life aspiration is to own and operate the fastest race vehicle on the planet You shouldn't... you have a beautiful car, write them off a jealous and find something worthwhile to spend your time thinking about.

...or me.
But wait, If I had a dollar for every time a 30+ showed his computer-illiteracy or acted JUST like this kid, the "single mothers" in my area would be a lot happier.

I only wish I had a car in high school someone could have made fun of. In a few years you ain't gonna care...you'll look back and laugh at what you thought was important.

Here's what you need to do. Take your right hand (left will work in a pinch) and hold it straight out. Align it so the tip of your middle finger is directly in front of the tip of your nose. Now, keeping your arm straight, let it fall to your body. Doing this will indicate the approximate location of your *********. Once you have a positive ID on them, you can start using them.
Tell the dude with the Altima to stick it sideways up his ***, he can't beat your car in any way and he knows it. Sure, the 8 is no muscle car, but listen to the people here and you'd think it has the power output of a lawnmower. A decent driver in an RX8 (by decent I mean one capable of breaking 15 in the quarter) can dispatch even brand-new Civic Si's, so why are you taking **** from some dickless loser in a '99 Civic hatchback? Call them on it, tell them they have the horsepower of a golf cart, and if it pisses them off, race them and prove yourself right. The truth is, at the high school level, unless some kid is rolling up in 350Z or a new Mustang GT his daddy bought him, you probably have the quickest car in the lot.

Lets tell a High School kid with limited driving experience get into a street race and see what happens.
(you made NO mention of going to the track so don't try to back peddle)

It's "backpedal", and I don't need to. I made no mention of doing it on the street either. If he chooses to race, where he does so is his own choice. He's not my kid.

I told myself I wouldn't post in this useless thread, but now that it has exceeded 40 posts I feel that I must say something.
Kid: I'm gonna tell you something. If you give an ******* a car - any car - they will see every car on the road as inferior to theirs. Nothing you can say or do will change their mind. No matter how badly you beat them in a race - drag, or track; leagal or not - they will always have some reason, some excuse, some thing ready to say in order to negate your victory.
Odds are, friends or enemies, these guys are just giving you **** for the sake of giving you ****. They like watching you get frustrated. All you have to do is derail the arguement. They say their car is faster? Ask what their 0-60 is. If they don't know it, ask them to guess. If it's faster than 6 seconds, just say "oh, I guess it is faster... lol sucks for me!" If it's slower, then just say "Mine is lower."
The End! Argument over.
If they want to pursue the issue further, and say that their car isn't just faster, but better overall, just refer to Car & Driver. Tell them that while everyone is entitled to their opinion, your opinion is backed by the most respected overall vehicle analysis publication in the United States, not by some street-ricer magazine that only cares about engine volume, stereo volume, body kits, neon lights, and straight-line speed.
Let me put it this way: unless your friends drive a luxury-brand car (Lexus, Jag, Infiniti, etc.) you definatively have the all-around better car. Every serious car reviewer holds the RX-8 is high, high, HIGH regard. It's flawlessly built, it's engineered to feel like an extension of your being, it comes with boatloads more creature comforts than any car in it's class, it's more exotically styled, it's more accomodating to passengers than other sports cars, it hugs the road with unparalled furry...
IT'S THE BETTER CAR.
FLAT-OUT ******* FACT.
Let me ask you this: if you owned a ferrari, a lambo, or a bentley, and a bunch of your peers started giving you **** about how their Mustang GT w/NOS, heavily modded EVO, or turbocharged S2000 was faster or nicer than your car, would you REALLY give a flying ****? No! (at least, you shouldn't) There is no doubt that these lame ***** don't have a "better" car than you!
Even if they do deck themselves out with mods and manage to dominate your car on the straights AND the turns, guess what? You still have the better car!
A while back there was a video going around on the net of a Civc hatchback that beat an SRT Viper in a drag race. I'm sure for the rest of that night, that civic was the center of everyones attention. The next day, though, if both of those cars pulled up along side a car full of hot girls (or guys - whatever does it for you), I can promise you that Civic would be invisible to everyone.
SHORT VERSION:
The RX-8 *IS* slowest in it's class - learn to deal with it.
The RX-8 *IS* the best overall car in it's class - Car & Driver + many other publications have said this time and time again.
If you owned a Ferrari, and some lame **** modded his mustang enough to beat you in a drag race, you would still have the better car.
You own an RX-8, and if some lame **** mods his Sentra enough to beat you in a drag race, you still have the better car.
*sigh*
Look, kid - I know driving a car that attracts lots of mocking and taunting can be sickening sometimes, but learn to deal with it in a way that doesn't involve starting a whinny thread about it. If you really get that desperate for some positive reactions to your car, clean it, wax it, and go drive it real slow through a crowded parking lot (and don't blast your music like a dipshit) - 90% of the people that see it will not be able to look away and you can take comfort in the "OMG I WANT ONE" looks on their faces. The other 10% will be some bolt-on-boy-wonder with a neon Civic who has to point & laugh with his "hommies" because he's an insecure ***** who refuses to admit to himself that the $2500 he spent on car parts at Wal-Mart only turned his $13,000 piece-of-**** car into a $15,500 piece-of-**** car.

Why would you want to catch a S2000? What would you do with one if you caught it?
Just go off and do something else. Check back every now and then to see if they've finished.

You can always use my old adage...
I can strap a bottle rocket onto a piece of **** to make it faster than ANYONE'S car. But then all I would have is a fast piece of ****. (hence, their cars)
Their smack talking is just that. Smack talking. I'm assuming that they are jealous that you have a more expensive car, so of course they have to make themselves feel better, and have to justify WHY they still drive their old shitbox with AutoZone bolt-ons. Remember, ANYTHING can be made to go fast.
Where are all the vintage Volvo owners and Saturn owners that tune THEIR cars raggin on the high-class civic and altima guys? There's a pecking order, and the lowest man on the totem pole will always try to beat the guy above him.
Good luck my friend. If all else fails. Move.

I'm 23 years old, just graduated college, and still I get those ignorant people that say, "my car is faster." So what? I don't care! I got my car because I love it.
An example is there's some kid in my town that's driving around in a aftermarket turbo Pt Cruiser. Every chance he gets, he blows past me. He kept doing it until one day he caught me going down one of my favorite back roads with lots of twisties. He tried to keep up and when I got to the end I waited til he caught up and he hasn't done it sense. At the end of the day he's still driving a clown car made street legal. Same goes for the retards at your school, they're still driving their stupid altima or civic and you're the person driving one of the best sports cars for the dollar.
Moral of the story, don't sweat them. As long as you're happy with what you have, that's all that matters.

I may not own an 8 (yet) but even with all scratches and stuff in the paint of my Grand Am I would laugh my *** off if someone with a rust bucket altima said their car looked better than mine. And with every insistence I'd just laugh harder. Eventually I'd recover and just tell em "sure" and walk away. Course I'd also have to stop from fits of laughter every so often, but still...you get the point.

You should have sex with their girlfriends and video tape it.
Then next time they start ragging on your car tell them about this video you have that proves the 8 is better than their cars.
